I also like the fact that the car still isnt perfect and needs a bit of work to get it to run perfectly. Its not going to be boring, and itll keep me busy.
Didnt the Yokomo MBX-4 come out first? You have to admit they are similar, but I dont think Tamiya copied Yokomo's design do you?

There is nothing wrong with the 501x shocks, they are an even better design compared to B44 shocks which are good.
The design is so good you dont have to rebuild them that often.

At least you admit this is the funnest car to drive on the market.
I have to agree with that last quote.
